I'm looking for a front lip for my S5 front bumper.

So far I have seen:
~Shine auto's lip
~Mazdatrix's OEM CF Lip
~Corksport's MS style Lip

Any other suggestions?

I've been looking for pictures of the Corksport lip on the car (better than corksports picture)

Does anyone make an OEM style lip like the mazdatrix, only in fiber glass?

 

I have the mazdaspeed lip. Its aggressive but if you don't like a sophisticated looking lip its not for you. Off the top of my head Napsterfreak15 has a bunch of pics of the mazdaspeed lip.

Best pic I have. Yes ***** getting painted as we speak...

 

My biggest issue with that lip is aggressiveness.

I did the S5 body conversion with the OEM side skirts and a RE Amemiya rear wing.

If I cant find an oem style fiberglass lip, Then I'm gonna just run the MS style lip.

Thanks for the picture it helped.

 

...is that the corksport vented headlight cover?

 

^yap.


I can get pics for you of all that painted in minty sunrise red in 1 week

with every body panel a different color, makes **** look naturally uglier. The MS lip is aggressive, but looks nice imo. adds a nice "ledge" on the bottom of the bumper to take away that ford probe look lol... If you get this lip, it'll grow on you. I got a decent deal on it and didn't like it at first either, then a week or so later my mind changed.

Thanks for all the posts!

 

There are differences between Corksports Odura (spelling on their website) lip and the two Jland lips that Corksport is copied from. The Odula lip and the FEED lip.

The difference is in the bar that goes across the grill section. On the Odura and Odula lips there is space between the bottom bar of the OEM bumper and the bar of the lip. On the FEED lip that bar is flush with the bumper.

The FEED lip is about halfway down on the page

IMO the Feed lip looks much better if both were simploy bolted on. You really need to cut out the bottom of the bumper on the corksport lip to make it look good, that gap just looks like ***

 

Couldn't agree more. Although after you cut out that bar the Odula/Odura lip would allow for more airflow with a FMIC.

 

+1 on pics

I've got a MS scoop and would love to see as many pics of a red body matched lip as possible. The scoop, if I decide to use it, will be going on a red turbo swapped vert. I can never decide if I like those fender flairs on the MS lip.

 

I confirmed this, drastic difference actually with back to back testing, that is my car on the corksport page

 

I'd love to see the data on the tests. I love that lip and prefer the FEED one for simplicity sake. I don't like the double crossbar look of the Odula/Odura, but if I ever go FMIC I'd go with what works best.

 

Jeff- the data on the tests are in my memory. I had no lip and knew how hot the car would run and knew the inlet temps and coolant temps with 3 different gauges.
I installed the lip, took the car for a ride, all temps were hotter.
Came back to my shop, literally took a aviation snip and cut the bar off the bumper and took the car back out again, less then a 10 minute pit stop, coolant temps stayed 10-20 degrees cooler and would not climb like they were with the bar, inlet temps were much cooler as well, I believe 5-10 degrees if my memory serves me correct.

I then took the undertray and tried wedging it under the lip, to make the lip scoop air into the undertray- this made things WORSE! You would have thought the lip putting air right into the undertray would be a good thing but it was not.

I went down the same highway, both ways, same route, same weather- heck it was all within 1 hour

 

Good info to have...thanks
